Swapping gas for induction needs a dedicated high-current circuit back to the switchboard, benchtop modification for the new cutout, and the gas point capped off by a licensed plumber. We handle the electrical side and coordinate the rest. In Croydon that work is done by our own crew out of Boronia, certified and quoted before we start.

Croydon is part of our home patch — we're through Maroondah most weeks, so induction cooktop installation here doesn't come with a travel premium or a long wait. The cooktop is the cheap part. Nearly every gas-to-induction swap needs a new circuit run from the board, and in older homes the board itself has to be sorted first — which is why quotes vary so much between installers.
Because we're already working across Croydon South, Ringwood North and Mooroolbark, a Croydon job usually slots into a run we're doing anyway. That keeps the call-out honest and means we can come back if something needs a second look.
Board capacity and the run for a dedicated cooktop circuit.
Cutout size, clearances and airflow under the unit checked before ordering.
New circuit, cooktop set and connected, old gas point capped by a licensed plumber.
Tested, certified and demonstrated before we leave.
Every induction cooktop installation booking in Croydon runs off the same checklist, whether it's a 1960s brick veneer or a new build. Here's exactly what's covered in the price we quote you.
A-Grade licensed, REC 33326, fully insured and CEC accredited for solar design and installation. Certificate of Electrical Safety issued, and gas disconnection done by a licensed gas fitter.
The part people underestimate with induction cooktop installation is the prep. Board capacity and the run for a dedicated cooktop circuit. We do that before anyone quotes a number, because a price written without looking at the board is a price that changes halfway through the job.
Cutouts are unforgiving. Stone and laminate benches need the right cutout size and clearance to the cabinetry below, and an induction unit needs airflow underneath, so the drawer that used to sit under a gas burner sometimes has to change.
“Quoted before we start, certified when we finish.”
Roofs through Ringwood, Croydon and Mooroolbark are generally simple tile or Colorbond with good north or east-west split, which suits a 10 kW-plus array on the larger family homes. Established street trees are the variable, so we check the winter shade line before committing to a lower row of panels. Sizing here is usually driven by whether hot water and heating are moving across to electric, not just by the current bill.
Croydon sits on the same run as Croydon South, Ringwood North, Mooroolbark — if we're at one, we're usually minutes from the others.
Anyone can say they're licensed. Here's what that actually means when we're on your job — and the paperwork you'll hold at the end of it.
You see the number, the inclusions and the exclusions in writing. If the scope changes on site, we stop and ask — we don't invoice a surprise.
No labour hire, no subcontractors. The electrician who quotes your job is the one standing in your switchboard, on the same REC (33326).
Every job finishes with a Certificate of Electrical Safety, tested circuits, a labelled board and photos of anything hidden behind a wall.
Workmanship guaranteed and manufacturer warranties registered in your name. If something plays up, you ring us — not a call centre in another state.
Nobody can quote induction cooktop installation honestly without seeing the job. What we can do is show you exactly what moves the number, so the price you're given in Croydon makes sense before you agree to it. The electrical work is typically a day, sometimes less if the board is modern and the run is short.
Plenty of Croydon homes still run a board that predates RCDs. If yours does, it either needs upgrading first or it needs allowing for in the quote — we tell you which on the day, not after.
Roof pitch, subfloor clearance and how far the run is from the board move the labour more than the fittings do. We measure it before pricing, so the number holds.
Mostly determined by the circuit run and whether the switchboard has room. Bench modification is quoted separately by the stone or cabinetry trade.
Certificate of Electrical Safety issued, and gas disconnection done by a licensed gas fitter. Where a rebate applies we handle the forms and the compliance evidence — you don't chase it.
These are Google reviews from real jobs across Melbourne's east — the same crew that would turn up in Croydon.
Excellent service! The team arrived on time and completed the installation efficiently and up to scratch. Everything was done neatly, with great attention to detail. Ryan and Jack are top blokes and easy to deal with. Highly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic service and work done! The boys were super accommodating, answered any questions I had without a problem, left everything neat and tidy and overall did an amazing job installing our battery and inverter. Cannot recommend enough.
Isaac Giblett · Battery + inverter
Zak and Ryan did a amazing job. Even with the obstacles of a double story home with a internal switch board they persevered in the heat and got the job done. Thanks guys we realy appreciate your work and polite attitude.

Ryan and Jack did a great job doing the electrical work on my new 4 head split system. They got the job done in no time, and my split systems were up and running. Once connected, Ryan made sure all 4 heads were working. Thanks guys, great job!
James "Mitchi" Mitch · Split system
The experience is very nice with them. Specially Roy and Jack did their best. We are so much happy about their service. They heard every single word of us and suggest us which is good and why. Highly recommend

If there's more than one thing on the list, tell us when you book. Doing it in the one Croydon visit means one set-up, one clean-up and one certificate — and it's almost always cheaper than having us back a second time.
Mostly determined by the circuit run and whether the switchboard has room. Bench modification is quoted separately by the stone or cabinetry trade. There's no travel premium to Croydon — it's on our regular run from the Boronia workshop.
The electrical work is typically a day, sometimes less if the board is modern and the run is short.
Yes — we're A-Grade licensed electricians and a Registered Electrical Contractor (REC 33326), fully insured and CEC-accredited for solar design and installation. Certificate of Electrical Safety issued, and gas disconnection done by a licensed gas fitter.
Rarely. Most cooktops need their own dedicated circuit rated for their full draw. Sharing an oven circuit is a common shortcut that causes nuisance tripping and isn't compliant.
We work right across Maroondah — including Croydon South, Ringwood North and Mooroolbark — plus the wider east and south-east, from Boronia to Berwick and Balwyn to Warrandyte.
Luke · Founder, A-Grade electrician
Most of what's wrong with this industry comes down to one thing: the person selling isn't the person installing.
I'm a licensed A-Grade electrician, and so is everyone who'll be on your roof or in your switchboard. When we quote your home, we're quoting work we'll do ourselves — which is why we'll happily talk you out of gear you don't need.
If you're thinking about getting off gas, call us. Worst case, you'll hang up knowing more than you did.
